Soar today with our guest Alison Green Myers, whose first book for middle grade readers, A Bird Will Soar, received the American Library Association's 2022 Schneider Family Book Award and the Pennsylvania State Library Association's 2022 Carolyn W. Field Award. Alison is the program director for the Highlights Foundation, a national writing fellow, and an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. And beyond that, she's got a ton of classroom experience and has written strong STEM-based curriculum. [04:20]A Bird Will Soar One of the things I noticed is that it creates space in the world for all kinds of families, all kinds of feelings, and all kinds of healings. And I found myself wondering, were there connections from your own childhood that informed the book? [04:53] Alison: My favorite part of the book is talking to kids about it, and the number one question they ask is, what parts are real? I think the thing about fiction that kids love is that they realize it's this suspension of reality as they're entering a story. But then they're like, but I'm talking to you right now, and I know you created this. So let me in on the secret. Like, what are the parts that are real? And there are parts that are very tangible to my life growing up. [11:02] Alison: One of the things I love talking to kids about is most of the time when they hear the term bird brain, it's not always seen as a positive thing. But really, if we unpack a bird brain and we think about all of the messages going on in there, all of the information packed inside that side of a brain that's light enough for flight, it's like miraculous, right? Brains just are completely fascinating to me. And there's a heavy theme of that within the book about processing and about our minds, our brains, our instincts being the messages that are just right for us.[18:25] Connecting STEM/STEAM to A Bird Will Soar -- a Teacher Educator Guide actually written by a teacher (who happens to be the author)[21:16] What impact did winning the Schneider Award have on your writing?[32:55} How did the Highlights Foundation shape your journey?You can visit Alison Green Myers' website or follow her on Instagram or LinkedIn.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast laun Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ever find yourself in a difficult situation with your manager? Or perhaps you are wondering how others are dealing with non-profit dysfunctions? Lauren and Teia take a look at "Ask a Manager". Ask a Manager is a website that allows anyone to email questions and issues they might have with a manager or organisation. They are then answered by a manager and publicly available for others to comment and advise. We came across a few posts, and Lauren just had to ask Teia (a manager) what she would recommend! For example, what do you do if someone refuses to use your pronouns? What do you say to a man who feels excluded from diversity and inclusion training targeted at women? CAUTION: Saltiness and disbelief included. You can check out Ask a Manager by Alison Green here - https://www.askamanager.org/ask-a-question Trigger Warning: Lauren and Teia discuss instances of bullying and harassment at work.

Lancer une entreprise vient souvent d'un problème qu'on vit ou qu'un de nos proches vit dans sa réalité quotidienne. On encercle l'enjeu et par la suite on tente d'y amener des solutions et si la solution est assez bonne on risque d'en faire une entreprise viable. Mon invité du jour, Allison Green, présidente et fondatrice de l'organisation Bien Chez soi ne fait pas exception à la règle. Alors qu'à l'époque son grand père devait se rendre en CHSLD, Allison a refusé en croyant clairement qu'il pouvait y avoir une meilleure option pour ses grands parents, et pour tout autre personne âgée d'ailleurs. C'est ainsi qu'en 2008, son organisation est née. 14 ans plus tard, elle possède 40 franchises à travers la province et a même lancée une nouvelle organisation, "Les maison adaptées", un concept qui provient aussi d'un problème qu'elle a vu sans son marché. J'espère que comme moi, vous prendrez du plaisir à écouter l'histoire fascinante provenant du 160e épisode du podcast. Sans plus attendre, ma discussion avec Allison Green.

welcome to the nonlinear library, where we use text-to-speech software to convert the best writing from the rationalist and ea communities into audio. this is: Notes on Managing to Change the World", published by Peter Wildeford on the effective altruism forum. The book “Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Manager's Guide to Getting Results” by Alison Green and Jerry Hauser comes highly recommended from a wide variety of top executive directors of non-profits, and after reading it, I can say these positive recommendations are entirely justified. Don't let the title fool you - while talk of “changing the world” may sound pie-in-the-sky or even hippyish, this book was relentlessly practical. The principles also matter more than just for non-profits. I think anyone managing others should read this book, regardless of whether they are working in non-profits or not. So far this is my favorite management book that I have ever read.[1] The density of information is amazing and it will be difficult for me to do the book justice with a summary, and the book is short enough that I encourage everyone to read the actual book cover-to-cover rather than just my summary here. Nevertheless, I will persist with summarizing. Note there may be some things in this book that I disagree with, or at least don't fully agree with. I'd be careful to read the book critically. There is also a lot of good advice that is not in this book. In these notes I mainly aim to summarize what I find as the key takeaways of the book, from my understanding and as applied to my personal context, rather than try to present my all-things-considered view on how best to run a non-profit organization. Also note that this post is a personal post and does not necessarily represent the views or practices at Rethink Priorities. Summary of the Summary Management is about getting things done through other people and your job as a manager is to get results. Good managers set goals, are clear about what those goals are, hold people to those goals, help people meet those goals, are clear with people about when they aren't meeting goals, and are not afraid to tell some employees they aren't right for the job. Good managers ensure people are in roles where they will excel and get everyone aligned around a common purpose. Good managers delegate, but don't disappear after - they don't do the work themselves but do ensure implementation happens and help employees do their work. Most managers should spend less time actually doing work than they probably spend, but more time guiding other people through their work than they probably spend. The best way to ensure delegation goes successfully is to (1) be clear from the start about what you expect, (2) stay engaged enough along the way to make sure you and the employees are on the same page and to ensure the ongoing quality of the work, and (3) hold people accountable for what they deliver. The most common way managers fail at delegation is by not staying involved throughout to check on progress. You should have a regular (typically weekly) 1-on-1 meeting with each employee you manage to connect personally, review progress against the plan, ask probing questions, provide feedback, help the employees adjust priorities, and create connections between employees. When giving feedback, be specific. When asking questions, be specific. Delegation usually starts by handing off specific tasks and projects, but the true power of delegation emerges when you can hand off broad responsibilities. When interacting with your own boss (managing up), have empathy and remember they are a person. Guide them toward doing the right thing and make managing easy. When asking for input from your manager, apply the one hand rule - keep questions to yes/no or multiple choice, make an initial recommendation / default, and make everything clear upfront but provide background at the end as necessary. What is management? The point of management is to get more ...

In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Younghusband&oldid=941797985 Transcript: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Crimes & Witch-Demeanors! The paranormal podcast where we go beyond rehashing wikipedia pages and delve into archival and historic resources to uncover the truth behind our favorite spooky tales. I'm your host and sardonic librarian, Joshua Spellman. N Today's episode has been inspired by recent personal events dealing with hospitals and nurses and the title is of course inspired by Willam. If you know, you know, if you don't, you don't. And that's fine, some of us have our own little club. Today's topic took me on quite the journey (as good research often tends to do): you begin one place and think you know where you're going to land but you wind up in an entirely unintended location. And in this case — that's fine! I mean, that's how the scientific process works. Never try and prove your own hypothesis, be your own worst enemy — like I am in my love life. But today I went from researching phenomenon spanning continents to zeroing in on the homes and hospitals of the beautiful coastal capital of South Australia—Adelaide,. Not a bad place to end up, if you ask me! So settle in, buckle up, we've got a long flight ahead. ____ “Alright, you've got this” Cassie said to herself in the mirror, splashing water on her face. This was her first night on the job as an evening nurse in a new facility — and through a series of unfortunate events — she was the only one on staff. Something like this wouldn't happen back in the city, but things are different when you're in a small town…as Cassie would soon find out. Making her way back out to the nurses station, Cassie paused to look around. The hubbub and bustling activity of the day had all but faded away. By this time, most of the patients were already asleep in their beds, leaving Cassie feeling unnaturally alone. The place felt almost abandoned. Even the smallest of sounds: a patient's distant cough, the water dripping from the leaky faucet, her footsteps on the ground, bounced and echoed through the tiled halls; rising and falling in a cacophony of silence. BZZT! Cassie nearly jumped out of her skin. It was only the call button of a patient requiring assistance. She made her way over to the patient's room “Hi there, I'm Cassie, the new evening nurse, what seems to be the matter” she glanced at the patient's chart “Miss Roebel?” “Oh please dear, call me Trish” the old woman replied “I have the bladder of a small old lady despite being a spry young thing of 79” she chuckled “if you could please help me on over to the lavatory” “Oh, of course!” Cassie replied, rushing to Trish's bedside to help her up. She walked Trish over to the bathroom and onto the toilet. BZZT! Another patient needing assistance. “Do you mind if I go and help them? It can give you your privacy” Cassie asked. “Oh, of course!” Trish replied. “But don't try any funny business and try and get back to bed on your own” Cassie warned, mockingly wagging her finger at Trish. “Aye, aye captain!” Trish retorted as Cassie made her way to assist the other patient. He was an older gentleman who, while trying to get comfortable in bed, had accidentally ripped out his IV. Cassie was still a little nervous and being new, it took her minute to locate the sterile needles. After successfully administering the IV, which took a little longer than expected since the man was afraid of needles, Cassie rushed back over to Trish's room. And that's when she found Trish…tucked neatly into bed, ready for sleep. “Trish…” Cassie started, “I told you to wait for me so I could help you into bed. You could have fallen!” “Oh…but I didn't!” Trish exclaimed, “the other nurse came in and helped me” Confused, Cassie asked with skepticism “The other nurse?” “The one in the grey uniform, with the hat” “Ah, yes. Of course” Cassie replied, not wanting to alarm the old woman “Goodnight Trish” she said as she turned off her light. As Cassie made her way back into the hall, the phone at the nurse's station began to ring. She rushed over to answer, “Hello, Valley County medical center, Cassie speaking” “Oh, hi Cassie! This is Frida, the day nurse, I just wanted to check in and make sure everything is going alright before I headed to sleep, my apologies that we're so short staffed” “Oh, hello Frida! Yes, yes, everything is going alright…but did you happen to have someone else come in to help work my shift? I just came back from a patient who-“ Frida cut her off, “Oh…so you've already seen her then?” “Seen…who?” “Oh, never mind.” Said Frida, “Just something silly. Anyways, have a good night, please call if anything urgent comes up” “Of course, thanks for checking in. Goodnight!” Cassie said, hanging up the phone. What was she on about? But Cassie didn't have time to mull it over as she heard the echo of shuffling of feet. Another patient out of bed? Cassie got up from the nurses station and peered around the corner. There was someone at the end of the long hall. Cassie squinted to see clearer in the dim light, was that Trish? “Trish!” Cassie scolded, walking closer “I told you not to get out of bed on your own” As she made her way closer to the figure she realized it was a nurse. She was dressed in grey from head to toe, with a funny old-fashioned hat. The nurse nodded to Cassie with a wry smile and winked as she tilted her cap. Then, suddenly the woman turned on her heel, walked straight into the adjoining wall and vanished. ___ Stories like Cassie's are not unfamiliar to nurses — regardless of culture or region. Benign nurse figures are often seen roaming hospitals across the world and are referred to as Grey Nurses or Grey ladies because of the color of their uniforms. Are these apparitions the spirits of departed healthcare workers who loved their jobs so much in life that they carry on in death? Which I find hard to believe…while there are many great nurses out there on the front lines saving us from the pandemic I immediately think of all my high school bullies who can barely spell catheter let alone insert one who are now probably all angels of death… Which is actually a great segway while throwing some subtle shade at former cheerleaders—maybe grey nurses are not ghosts at all but instead are inhuman spirits taking on a familiar form, who seek to comfort and care for our sick and dying. I guess that's literally the definition an angel? Well, not the kind that are concentric spinning rings of fire with seventeen glowing eyes that are so horrifying that gazing upon them them will wreck your feeble human mind…you know like kind of angels in the Bible. But you know, grey nurses are like the hallmark, Touched By an Angel type that Christians believe in despite their holy book describing them as horrific creatures. But I digress. While we may not have all the answers to these questions, we can surely try and answer them. Despite being a worldwide paranormal phenomenon, my research kept circling back to hospitals in one city: Adelaide. Specifically, the former Adelaide Royal Hospital, now known as Lot Fourteen and Austin Hospital. Unlike the Windsor Hotel from last week, Austin Hospital has an entire webpage devoted to stories from staff about their ghostly grey nurse. This following story is from their former Divisional Director of Cancer and Neurosciences, Cherie Cheshire…which, by the way, is an amazingly alliterative name. If you're looking to name a character in a book you're writing I suggest you snatch that name up before somebody else takes it! Anyway, here is her story: “We were supposed to be three nurses on night shift, but we were short staffed and only had two. One patient named Carol had complete paralysis due to MS. She could not take a drink of water herself however suffered from terrible dry mouth. So, the nursing staff attended to her at least hourly to help her sip some water, even overnight. On this shift we were flat out. At around 9.30pm I filled Carol's one litre jug with iced water and gave her a drink. It then got very busy and I didn't manage to go back to her room until midnight. When I did, she only had half a jug of water. She told me the other nurse had been in several times and helped her drink. I knew this wasn't right however checked with the other nurse who said she had not been in the room. When I asked Carol about who helped her with her water again, she said it was the older agency nurse in the old-fashioned grey dress…” This next story from the former director of Nursing and former ICU Unit Manager, Jen Hancock, served as the inspiration to the narrative portion of today's episode: “While working nights on the old 6A in Heidelberg House, the buzzer rang and a lady needed a pan. I took it to her and asked her to buzz when finished. Ten minutes later, there was no buzz, so l went to check. She was lying down in bed half asleep, curtains pulled back. She told me that the other nurse in the grey uniform with a veil had taken it and made her comfortable. I was working with a male Enrolled Nurse. I asked the Registered Nurse who was between the three wards in Heidelberg House, if she knew anyone in a different uniform. She didn't. I was later told it was a common occurrence in Heidelberg House and that patients had often described the grey nurse.” Other nurses reported ghostly occurrences like floating utensils, a hallways that is always ice cold at night, and seeing the grey nurse turn a corner and disappear. The former Royal Adelaide Hospital, which I believe has been converted or demolished in favor of residential and commercial space, also had tales of the Grey nurse. I tried to do some digging, but there isn't much to go on with these stories: no name, no cause of death, no era, no nothing. However, I did manage to dig up an old newspaper article about a ghost story that has been circulating for at least a century and a half: the Grey Lady of Adelaide. This specter is known as the first ghost of Adelaide…which is a little Eurocentric considering there were probably many Aboriginal ghosts prior to the colonization of the area but I digress… the color association here is interesting. Could this Grey Lady and the grey nurses be one in the same? The ghost of the Grey Lady was said to haunt Younghusband Mansion. I was curious where this mansion was located — was it in the vicinity of one of these hospitals? Or perhaps it was demolished and one of the aforementioned hospitals built over top. I found my answer in the October 17, 1929 issue of The Register News-Pictorial. It reads thusly: GREY LADY OF NORTH ADELAIDE - CITY'S BEST GHOST STORY And There Was Another In A Castle WhoLeft Illicit Still Behind ROMANTIC GHOST WHO SAT IN CELLAR SHE haunted the Younghusband mansion, this Grey Lady of North Adelaide, and in the basement each night could be seen, 60 years and less ago, sitting in her chair in her own particular cellar. Memory recalls only that much of this spirit with the romantic title, but when the Nursing Sisters of Calvary Hospital became owners of the Younghusband mansion, they closed the Grey Lady's cellar. And the Grey Lady went out of memory. The Archbishop of Adelaide (Dr. Spence), when he laid the foundation stone of a convent home for the Nursing Sisters of the Calvary Hospital, North Adelaide, revived, perhaps, Adelaide's two sole ghost stories. He recalled that the sisters never saw the Grey Lady but the story, no doubt, added to their discomfort. The acre on which Calvary Hospital stands was first owned by Robert Gouger, the State's first Colonial Secretary. He, too, owned land near the present Gouger street, where he built his home, and there were buried his wife and child. This is the foundation of the story of the Grey Lady, it is thought. However illogical might be the idea of the North Adelaide property being haunted, the story grew, and was known up to 29 years ago, when the Nursing Sisters took over the property from the Baker family. When the old house was pulled down to give place to the present modern structure at Calvary Hospital, the story gained another lease of life. I wanted to learn a little bit more about this mansion and it led me down…quite the path. If you follow the podcast on instagram @crimesandwitchdemeanors then you already know where this is going. The article wasn't very clear on whether Calvary Hospital was the mansion, replaced the mansion, or if the mansion was just used as a convent for the Nuns of Calvary Hospital. In trying to answer these questions, I stumbled across the blog of a man named Allen Tiller. Who, if you've seen the original Teen Titans cartoon, is a dead-ringer for the villain Control Freak. He is quote “a historian, genealogist, author, paranormal investigator, and the 2017 emerging South Australian Historian of the Year.” Quite the decorated man! Now, although his website looks like it was plucked straight from Xanga, awful div transparencies and all, it was useful because it led me to his book, The Haunts of Adelaide: History, Mystery, and the Paranormal REVISED EDITION. The revised part is in all caps so you know it's important. However, I'm grateful for his book because it includes a chapter on the Younghusband Mansion - for which there is virtually no digital resources on. I'm just glad I have Kindle unlimited so I didn't have to pay for it. The entire introduction read like a thread of rage-tweets lambasting the prior publisher. Maybe not the best look, Allen. Save it for twitter. Not the book. It kind of diminishes what credibility you earned. But I'm not the 2017 Emerging South Australian Historian of the Year so you know, I should probably keep my big mouth shut. Here's what I've gleaned for his book: The parcel of land Younghusband mansion was built on was originally purchased tin 1837 by Robert Cock during the first land sale held in Adelaide. Later, Cock sold the land to the first colonial secretary of South Australia: Robert Gouger. Gouger bought the land because he was under the impression that its high elevation would help ease the pain of his ailing wife, Harriet, who was suffering from tuberculosis. They erected a modest wooden cabin on the land but sadly the high elevation proved to offer no health benefits and Harriet, along with her infant child, died. Gouger buried both his wife and child on the land, though they were later moved and interred at West Terrace cemetery. This history is what led to the story of the Grey Lady as outlined in the news article. However, its legacy doesn't end there. In 1842 the land was sold to Edward Stephens and then again in 1846 to William Younghusband. William Younghusband was an Englishman who made a killing investing in the Burra Mines and his house reflected his wealth. Younghusband Mansion at one point was once known as the finest home in Adelaide…though that may be because it was the only one of its kind in the area. The mansion was opulent and grand: it had a ballroom, ornate gardens, secret rooms, underground tunnels, a unique iron fence, and it was outfitted head to toe in cedar. After Younghusband's death in 1865, the house changed hands quite a few times before the the lease came to rest in the hands of Miss Isabella Baker in 1883. Miss Baker had plans to convert the home into a private hospital but she could not do so until the owned the property herself. It took some time, but after six years she finally convinced the remaining trustee to relinquish the property. The mansion became the living quarters of the nuns. The two rooms facing the streets were used as bedrooms, behind them was a box room, below a large basement, and there was another room that had been sealed up. Behind the seal was a room that had not been finished during the Younghusband's occupation of the home. It was full of construction materials, dust, and rocks. During the time the Younghusband's stayed in the house, many people noticed the sealed up room, and because many people knew about Gouger's wife and her baby that died on the property, the legend of the Grey Lady began. The story really took off in 1869 when a newspaper published a story about a ghost spotted sitting in a chair in the basement. Younghusband mansion was eventually torn down and Calvary Hospital was built on the grounds. Could the Grey Lady have become one of the grey nurses? Or is her entity altogether separate? The former Royal Adelaide Hospital was one of the biggest hotspots of grey nurse encounters. Allegedly, a whole floor of the building was closed due to paranormal activity in the 1980's, though no evidence of this exists. It seems a little farfetched. As with most grey nurses, her identity was unknown but her story follows the usual pattern: she was the wife of a doctor who died on the operating table, she died in a car accident on her way to work, she was pushed down the stairs by a mental health patient, or she accidentally delivered a fatal overdose and committed suicide. The Royal Adelaide Hospital has moved to a new building and the old one was partially demolished and partially renovated and converted into shops, apartments, and the new location for the Australian Space Agency. Construction workers on the site witnessed paranormal activity. Allegedly, a number of workers sent messages to our good friend Allen Tiller describing their encounters. Frequently, a “person in blue” was spotted on the upper floors watching the construction staff work. When they called security to find the person, since it's dangerous to be on an active construction site, no one was found. This happened on numerous occasions. Now again. My brain always goes to speedy squatters, and no I'm not talking about me the day after I have chipotle. An abandoned building is the perfect place for someone to seek shelter with little risk of running into anyone. Regardless, the construction workers believe it to be a ghost and the blue outfit could possibly be scrubs. I will say that oftentimes grey can appear blue in certain circumstances. White ladies, men in black hats, and grey nurses…are they distinct spirits who choose to appear in these forms? Or are they archetypes that have been burned into our collective subconscious? It's safe to say we may never learn the identities of these homogenous haunts, if they are ghosts at all. But they do make for fun stories to tell in the dark. Next week's episode is going to be my personal ghost stories and will follow a different format than usual. Next week is my birthday week, and I'm also getting the second dose of my vaccine so I'm planning on feeling icky for a few days and would rather not have to write a few thousand words with a fever! So if that interests you, you have something to look forward to! If you know anyone who would enjoy the show — please share it with them! Word of mouth, and a pyramid scheme, is the best way to grow our family of bibli-ahh-graphers. Follow the podcast's instagram for goodies, and of course, if you're listening on overcast hit that little star icon, if you're an Apple fiend, please leave a kind review! And remember, if you find yourself in a hospital…keep your eyes peeled for a grey nurse, never badmouth previous publishers in your revised edition..its' quite unbecoming…and as always, stay spooky.

EP.36 Taking someone else's advice, even when you ask for it, is difficult. Entire studies have been conducted just to understand the widespread phenomenon of “advice discounting.” But even as we ignore the well-intentioned suggestions of our friends, families and therapists, many of us come back week after week to the advice columns published by a slew of print and digital media outlets. It's hard to say exactly how many people read advice columns, but it's clear that many have built devoted followings over the years. The workplace-focused “Ask a Manager,” for example, receives 2.4 million visits a year and 50 questions a day, writes Alison Green, the author behind that column for the past decade, writes in Vox. Several advice columnists, including Green and Ask Polly's Heather Havrilesky, have parlayed their success into books. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/support

L. Wilson (rec’d by Victoria) QUESTIONS 1. So I’m from Australia and it’s currently winter where I am in August at the moment but in October that’s when it’ll be spring and I’m going on vacation to somewhere where it’s sunny, hot and relaxing atmosphere! I was hoping you girls could recommend me some books to bring for the trip Summer books are good, I also like thriller and horror, weird for summer but oh well! I like authors like Taylor Jenkins Reid No YA if you can -Tamika 2. Time Sensitive: My son is turning 15 next week and I always get him a book (or five) for his birthday. This past year, he’s really been into graphic novels: he loved Scott Pilgrim (and the movie) and having read The Watchmen myself some years ago, I gave him a copy and he loved it. We have Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman and Marvel 1602 in the house (which I have not yet read yet), but I am looking for some other graphic novels he might enjoy. Any suggestions? -Neda 3. Hello Get Booked friends! Last year I was #blessed to get a job at my dream company, and am currently moving from entry-level to mid-career level responsibilities (aka “Big Kid stuff” as I like to think to stave off imposter syndrome). I have such a supportive work community as I grow into these new responsibilities, but I am wondering if you could recommend books (fiction or non-fiction) with practical advice for women stepping into leadership and “big-girl” responsibilities for the first time. I’ve read Lean In, You are a Badass, and a lot of Brene Brown, and tested the waters of some general business books, but I’d love the practical, Millennial perspective of women moving from entry-level to a management role (and managing people) for the first time. -Lauren 4. Aloha Ladies! This podcast has been a godsend for me as I’ve recently rediscovered my love for books after a long hiatus. With my re-entry into the world of bibliophiles, my best friend and I created a long-distance book club (Hawaii to Boston!) with some other wonderful women who were interested. I’ve never been part of a book club before and am so nervous about picking an interesting read that will spark discussion. There are no restrictions on genre, author, etc., but I would prefer to select a book that’s written by a woman. My personal preferences lean heavily towards fantasy (not sure that’s the best for a group), true crime and mystery/thrillers. Any suggestions for books that will drive thought-provoking discussion would be greatly appreciated! Many Mahalos! -Christina 5. Hello! I have a wonderful colleague who is preparing to adopt a child from Colombia. She doesn’t know a great deal yet, but knows that the child will be around 8-10 years old. I would love to get her some books that they could read aloud together. My colleague and her family are all currently taking Spanish classes, and the child will be in the process of learning English. Any thoughts on a good read that might help to ease the adjustments that will be happening in some small way? Thanks so much, for this and for your great recs in general! -DK 6. hi, i’ve been a fan for a while and so i’m looking for recommendations by authors who are not from the u.s., or more specifically just anything from the other side of the world. i have so little international books, it feels like i’m limiting myself to one country, one kind of book. i recently read “gumiho” by kat cho, which i really liked, and am reading “i am not your perfect mexican daughter” by erika sanchez, a book which i’m relating to a lot since i am latinx. some books i really like/love are “the rest of us just live here” by patrick ness, “eliza and her monsters” by francesca zappia, and any series/book that rick riordan has worked on or presented. i’m open to any genre though i have a tendency to like books that mix the real world with a bit of fantasy/supernatural. bonus if there is lgbt and mental illness rep in the book. -Ru 7. I am looking for a new book/books to read after finishing the books by Nina LaCour. I like books with queer characters (especially wlw and trans characters) set in western cities (LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland) where the city plays a big part of the book. I have read “Little and Lion” “Juliet takes a breath” and “when dimple met rishi” Love the show!

Beware references of your job being called your second family.You spend thousands of hours of your life working. Is it accurate to call work your second family? Nope. You can have warm, caring relationships with your co-workers, but classifying it as a family puts workers at a disadvantage. Employees may feel guilty if they want to ask for a raise or days off, but they willingly put in extra time and take on additional work to help out. Be friendly while knowing these are business relationships. If you’re in a position of leadership and work with a family member, stick to business at work. Creating a family-like environment at work often stems from the best intentions. However, employees can be made to feel guilty for reporting problems or leaving to advance careers. This is especially prevalent in small businesses. A team is a better framework for a business setting; not a family.

Nervous about that next meeting with your manager? Tune into this episode to figure out what your manager's really thinking — from how they deal with their own struggles at the end of the day to how they feel when you ask for vacation time to whether or not they noticed when you did that thing. Jada is joined by her own manager, Bustle's Managing Editor Amanda Chan, to discuss how they got to where they are today and how much things have changed during their time in media. We then turn to Alison Green of Ask A Manager to get straight answers on our most puzzling work problems and Marlee Grace, author of How to Not Always Be Working: A Toolkit for Creativity and Radical Self-Care, to address that age-old work-life balance question.

Why’d You Push That Button is back for season 3, and our first episode is a relatively serious one. Vox’s Kaitlyn Tiffany and I catch up on our summers and then dive into everyone’s favorite social media platform: Twitter. We need to discuss tweets. Are they worth deleting, or should we preserve our limited-character history? Who needs to worry about their tweets? What happens if a potential employer searches your Twitter? What will they find? Kaitlyn and Ashley reflect on their tweet history, and we take it to other users and experts. First, they talk to Max Read, an editor at New York Magazine, and then they chat with Brianna Wu, a woman who ran for Congress this year and was previously a target of Gamergate. Then they talk to Alison Green of the Ask A Manager website / book / podcast universe. (She is Ask A Manager!) And they wrap the show chatting with Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine, which attempts to archive the web. It’s true: you could think you deleted a tweet only to discover someone else on the internet has already saved it for you. A truly spooky possibility in the spirit of Halloween.

Pakistan's finance minister has announced the country will ask the International Monetary Fund for a bailout. We'll hear from Nadeem Haque, a former Pakistani official and former IMF representative, and Saeed Shah from the Wall Street Journal in Islamabad. Then, Jair Bolsonaro is the favourite in the second round of Brazil's presidential election. The BBC's Julia Carneiro gives us the latest on the country's reaction and what happens now. It’s an age-old question, how do women balance the demands of raising a family with career progression? With three small children and a challenging job Christine Armstrong wanted that question answered once and for all, so she asked as many women as possible for her book the Mother of all Jobs. Alison Green has been giving workplace advice for over a decade and one thing that keeps surprising her is that people want their problems solved without even speaking to the key person. She explains why direct conversation can be the best. All throughout the show, we’ll be joined by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto, Canada, and Asit Biswas from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Pakistani President Imran Khan speaks to the media on July 25, 2018.

Sweden's two main political blocs are tied, as the anti-immigrant party made gains. We hear how economic issues are likely to impact the process of forming a governing coalition in the country. Also in the programme, Jack Ma, founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba says he's leaving the firm next year. Duncan Clark wrote 'The House that Jack Built', and explains Mr Ma's legacy. We hear about a court case in Germany where an investment fund is suing carmaker Volkswagen over whether the firm was open enough about the rigging of emissions tests. Italy's government is to introduce a ban on Sunday trading in large commercial centres. Monica Cannalire of the Italian Council of Shopping Centres tells us why her organisation is opposed to the move.

This week, we are revisiting a bunch of our favorite stories from over the past few years. The average woman earns about 80 cents for every dollar the average man makes. So how can we move toward pay equality? Then, our health. Changes in health care affect society’s most vulnerable citizens — children. We’ll take a look back at our visit to a pediatric hospital in Southern California. Plus, dogs. Rescue dogs make our hearts melt AND teach us lessons about supply and demand! The business of rescuing, transporting and adopting puppies is complicated, so we break it down. We also talk with Ask a Manager’s Alison Green about what to wear in the office.
You’ve heard the saying, opinions are like… armpits, right? So is advice. Everyone has them and most of them stink, especially when it comes to careers. But Alison Green has some advice about advice for you; you’ve got to separate the good from the bad, and you have to pick your battles. Today, she and Laurie talk about crappy advice, what it takes to be a great leader, and what she wishes all managers knew. Bad advice isn’t limited to careers. It all stems from a much bigger problem: we think we know what’s best for another person and their life. We’ve all had jobs, and as a result, we all have opinions about how they should be. But the truth is, most of us have trouble acting on the advice we give AND receive. Alison even has a folder full of questions asking for her advice on topics where there IS no great answer, including farting at work. Seriously. Not all advice is crappy (pun intended). Every once in a while, we get a gem that can fix a situation or even change the way we think. Alison had one such piece of advice early in her career: pick your battles. Despite it being good advice, Alison had a hard time swallowing it, and she explains why. Twenty-somethings, this is for YOU. Laurie also shares a piece of advice she got that she has patently ignored. Great leaders get where they are by filtering the good advice from the bad, and there are some key aspects they share. Drive and commitment are a given if you want to get results. But some of the other things Alison believes are required for good leadership might be a little difficult for you to embrace. While there are some great leaders, there are plenty who are lacking, and Alison shares her theory on why there are so many of them. Conflict avoidance is one of the most pervasive issues in management. People don’t want to have difficult conversations, and it leads to terrible work cultures. Alison shares a story about a difficult conversation she had to have with an employee, and you should DEFINITELY take notes on how she handled it. Do you have to be a people person to manage people? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 different answers because, you guessed it, we all have our own advice to give. But if you want GOOD advice, Alison wrote the book on it, Ask a Manager. She shares whether you really need to be a people person if you want to lead well. Introverts, according to Alison, you CAN be a great manager. As an employee, or even as a manager, you’ve probably come across the sense of secrecy about management. So what do managers wish you knew? Alison has some great thoughts about that, and first among those is that it’s okay for an employee to speak up. She shares when it’s appropriate and how much you should divulge. Alison’s new book, Ask a Manager, isn’t just a collection of blog posts she’s written over the years. Instead, Alison took all she’s learned and created a handbook for managers. Specifically, ‘what to say when,’ and other things that you can actually learn and apply to your daily interactions with employees. Alison gives you the language to use for awkward and cringey conversations.

Wailin interviews Alison Green, the advice columnist whose Ask A Manager column offers friendly and practical guidance for all kinds of workplace dilemmas, from "How do I ask for a raise?" to "How can I get out of eating lunch with coworkers?" Alison talks about memorable letters, her community of commenters, and seeking advice from fellow advice columnists. Wailin also shares a story about a particularly horrible day at work where she could have used Alison's help.
"My book ASK A MANAGER is about the difficult conversations you might need to have at work during your career and how to approach them, including the specific wording to use when you do. It focuses in particular on the awkward and kind of cringey conversations that people dread the most, things like what to say if you’re allergic to your boss’s perfume, or if you made a pretty serious mistake at work, or if you lost your cool and you snapped at a coworker."

Seven months after Hurricane Maria, life in Puerto Rico is still in the midst of rebuilding. We went back to the island and found two distinct Puerto Ricos — people still seeking recovery assistance and people seeing Maria’s aftermath as opportunity to transform the island. We explore school closures, issues in housing and we check in with people we met just after the storm hit. Plus, a look at a west Texas community where oil production has tripled in the past five years. And, Ask a Manager’s Alison Green tells us how to navigate clueless colleagues, lunch-stealing bosses and the rest of your life at work.

Today’s Guest I'm back again, with another solo episode! Today I talk all about outsourcing: what to outsource, when to outsource, why to outsource, how to outsource...and when you might actually want to do stuff yourself. I also talk about how to make outsourcing easier. This was inspired by Louisa's request in the Facebook group for an episode on: "Outsourcing. I’m sure many small business owners could do with more time and outsourcing pieces of work is the obvious answer to that. But maybe we aren’t all aware of how much stuff we can outsource (I don’t think I am) either to people or to apps etc. Plus I think there’s a whole lot of Mindset stuff around outsourcing about your own judgments, about “get her” paying other people to do stuff for her and around money paying for servicing." Listen to this episode What You'll Learn What is outsourcing, and why you might want to start doing it Why outsourcing is a problem for some people What fears, blocks, and limiting beliefs people can have around outsourcing What to outsource, when to outsource, why to outsource, and how to outsource When you might want to do certain things on your own (and stop outsourcing them) Things I Discussed Top 10 Tips on Pitching Yourself to Be a Guest on Someone Else’s Podcast Xero.com Acuity Scheduling Divi The Definitive Guide to the Workcation Weekend Canva.com Fiverr.com (I've got a whole list of specific service providers in my Super Tech Recommendation Mega Guide) MeetEdgar.com Boomerang for Gmail Naomi Darlington (for transcripts) Ask a Manager blog Alison Green of Ask a Manager on this podcast Business Beliefs book Business Blocks book Camtasia The Super Tech Recommendation Mega Guide Connect With Holly Website Facebook Instagram Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn How to Subscribe Click here to subscribe via iTunes Click here to subscribe via RSS Click here to subscribe via Stitcher Help Spread the Word If you enjoyed this episode, please head on over to iTunes and kindly leave us a rating and a review!

Find Your Dream Job: Insider Tips for Finding Work, Advancing your Career, and Loving Your Job
Have you ever had a prospective employer ask about your desired salary? Or inquire about your salary history? Companies ask these questions to weed out applicants and (sometimes) get the upper-hand in pay negotiations. This week’s guest, Jim Hopkinson, argues that your response to salary questions can be the difference in whether or not you get an offer and how much leverage you have in future pay discussions. The employer does not necessarily hold all the cards when it comes to negotiating salaries. Jim recommends finding out all the facts about the job before you even start discussing salary. You may find there are job responsibilities which warrant a higher pay scale. And if you are the right fit for the job, you can enter the salary discussion knowing you have something of exceptional value to the company. Here are Jim’s recommendations if you are required to enter your desired salary in an application: Respond with a phrase like “negotiable,” or, “To be discussed during interview.” Try adding a nonsense number like “$0” or “$1,000,000” to show you are purposely not answering the question. If the system doesn’t allow a nonsense number use a numerical range. If you are unsure which salary range you fall into, Jim says there are five different ways to research how much you are worth: Go to salary sites. (Glassdoor.com, Payscale.com, etc.) Look at industry salary guides. (Robert Hath) Go to job sites and search your title. Internal networking with people you know. External networking with people you don’t know. Pro Tip — Job seekers should be spending 4 out of 5 days at job fairs and other face-to-face networking events. This Week's Guest: Jim Hopkinson Through his Salary Tutor website, Jim Hopkinson teaches people how to negotiate their salaries, and get paid what they are worth. He’s the author of Salary Tutor: Learn The Salary Negotiation Secrets No One Ever Taught You, and the co-author of How To Quit Your Job - The Right Way: A 5-Step Plan To Ditching Your Day Job. His free introductory course, The Negotiation Mindset, is available on his website. Resource of the Week Ben’s resource this week is a blog post, How to Respond to Salary History Requests, from the U.S. News and World Report Careers Blog by Alison Green. He also shares a related news story from the New York Times entitled Illegal in Massachusetts: Asking Your Salary in a Job Interview. Listener Question of the Week Jenna, Ben, and Mac offer advice to Jeff Croxford, who asks: “What current platforms and skills would be transferrable to most IT careers?” If you would like the team to answer a job-related question or if you’ve found a job resource you think everyone should know about email it to ben@macslist.org or call at 716-JOB-TALK. If we use your question on the air, you will receive either a copy of our new book, Land Your Dream Job Anywhere or a Mac’s List Coffee Mug, your choice.

Ten Talks 12/02/2017 | Part 3 | Alison Green - Matthew 14:22-33 tells the story of Peter getting out of the boat – his familiar, comfortable, safe place. In response to Jesus’ voice Peter demonstrates great courage as he moves beyond his boat to experience water-walking; this exhilarating adventure deepens Peter’s faith and relationship with Jesus. Perhaps you’re sitting in your familiar, comfortable, safe boat knowing that it is not God’s best for you. Is Jesus inviting you to move beyond to experience new adventures where your faith and character will grow and your relationship with Him will deepen? Will you come with Him?
It was such a delight to chat with Alison Green from AskAManager.org about her amazing blog and to pick her brain about interviewing as a new post-grad, revamping your resumé, and switching careers. If you're a student, Millennial, or just listening to this episode at work and really wish you weren't at work, this is an episode you will get so much out of. Make sure to check the show notes so you can find out how to submit your work/career questions to Alison too. Long description: It was honestly such a dream to chat with Alison Green from Ask a Manager. As I mentioned in the episode, I read her blog religiously the year I moved to Toronto and was trying to switch careers from advertising sales to digital marketing. Not only was it a great view into what other people have to deal with in their offices on a day-to-day basis, but she has some darn good advice! Probably the best career advice I've ever gotten. I absolutely credit Alison with helping me revamp my resumé and landing my current job. And it wasn't just a new job I got, I also increased my salary by about about $20,000 compared to the job I left in Vancouver. That's a lot of meatballs! The reason I wanted to interview Alison for this episode is because when it comes to personal finance, a big element is how much you take home. You can only save so much, so if you feel like you're stuck in a dead-end job and not making your worth, it's time to do something about it. It's definitely scary switching jobs or careers, but in my experience it can also be the best decision you could ever make. Got a Work/Career-related Question for Alison? I'm not ashamed to say it, I've totally submitted a question for Alison to answer on the blog a few years ago, and she answered it too! It was the coolest thing to get her insight into my situation, so if you want to pick her brain, I highly suggest submitting your question to Alison too.

Today’s Guest I have been a longtime reader of Alison Green's blog . To say I love it is a massive understatement. It's one of those few blogs that I really get sad about when I don't see updates in my feed...which is rare, since she's got a very active blog. I truly look forward to her posts, which are packed with management wisdom, and I recommend her every chance I get. Alison has amazing common sense, something that seems to be so rare, and I've learned so much from her. I only wish that I had discovered her blog when I had my previous company, as it would have really helped me become a better manager. The reason I was especially excited to get her on this podcast is because I know a lot of our listeners are solopreneurs, and often they have little prior experience in management. As we discuss on this episode, making the move to a management role is really challenging. And once you start bringing people onto your team, you'll need to manage them: whether they're a bookkeeper/accountant, graphic designer, video editor, or whatever. As the blogger behind Ask a Manager, Alison Green functions as the Dear Abby of the workplace, answering readers' questions daily on career, job search, and management issues. She's also the author of How To Get a Job: Secrets of a Hiring Manager and Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Leader's Guide to Getting Results, and the former chief of staff of a successful nonprofit organization, where she oversaw day-to-day staff management. What You’ll Learn Alison's top tips for how to be a new manager Why management is simply about getting things done How to help your ideal clients self select when they come to your website Why it's so important to have those difficult conversations you might want to avoid How Alison built her consulting business around her blog Inspiring Women in Business Suzanne Lucas, from Evil HR Lady Connect With Alison Website Facebook Twitter Learn the top management secrets entrepreneurs can't afford not to know from Alison Green at @askamanager http://wp.me/p3QOiq-xy
HR Happy Hour - Episode 64 - 'Ask a Manager' Thursday September 9, 2010 - 8PM EDT Ever have a problem at work that needed solving, and you didn't have just the right person to turn to? Your peers probably don't have the expertise and insight (and besides who knows if they'd just stab you in the back anyway), you can't go to your manager (since often the problem is about them), and requests for help to your friends on Facebook fail you, since most people are too busy with Farmville to spend time on your problems. So what do you do? You 'Ask a Manager!' That's right - Alison Green, the creator and author of the popular 'Ask a Manager' blog will be our guest this week, taking your (and her readers) most pressing questions about careers, the workplace, and dealing with their own managers. You can even call in your questions live at 646-378-1086 to get your tough questions answered live. I hope you can join us for what should be a fun and interesting show.
